Day, Life, Flow
What is a day?
It is 4 x Morton Feldman’s String Quartet II:
It is four sparse structures
with walls, floors & roofs
of narrow slats,
hovering above the sea, in a group,
asynchronously, slowly rotating
at differing angles
and speeds,
with sunlight thinly flowing through
It is four sparsely slatted structures
hovering above the desert, in a group,
asynchronously, slowly rotating
at differing angles
and speeds,
with moonlight thinly flowing through
What is a life,
constructed as a human,
named toward divine approximation?
It is, ideally, 116800 slatted houses,
sparse, airy,
up in the air,
in the thin throughflow
of Morton Feldman’s String Quartet II
and perhaps Olaf Stapledon
barefoot
on his hill
in 1930s England
roughly
sometimes
perhaps
